Hall of Shame: Ronald Reagan

The year was 1961, and Ronald Reagan concluded a speech by warning of something so dire, liberty was about to become an endangered species. This menace had to be stopped!

“If I don’t do it, one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.”

What was the menace? Medicare. Yep, the program that provides aid to the elderly. And Reagan hated it so much, he starred in anti-Medicare infomercials for four years!
